A Curiosity OfNumbers.

The multiplication of 9S7,654,321
by 45 gives 44,444, ,444, ,445. Revers-
ing the order of the digits, and null
tiplying 23,455,7s9 by 45, we get
the result equally curious, $685.
sos. If we take 123,456,7S9 as a
multiplicand, interchanging the fig
ures of 40, and take 81 as the null
tiplier, we obtain another remark
rble product, 6,666,666,6O6. Return
ing to the multiplicand first used,
9s7,654,321, and taking 54 as the
multiplier again, we get 53,-
333, ,333, ,333,334-all threes excepting
the first and last figures, which
read together 81, the multiplier.
Taking the same multiplicand, and
using 81, the half of 81, as the null
tiplier, we get product of 26,666,-
666,667-all skies except the first
and last figures, which reach to-
gether 81, the multiplier. Next in
terchanging the figures in the num-
Der 81, and using " as the multi

plicand, we obtain a product of III

l Strange Religious Sect.

One of the strangest of religious
sects is that which calls itself The
New and Latter House of Isreal.
Its headquarters is in Chatham,
England, in which town it's devo-
tees are building an immense tenn
pie which will cost $25O,00O. They
believe that they will not die and
that they are the remnant of true
Isrealites who will reign with
Christ for a thousand years. Their
founder was man named Jezriel,
who is now dead. His death was
great shock to the believers, but
his wife claimed that it was an ac-
cident and claimed herself to be
his successor.-NeaC York Tribune.

A Cleveland capitalist, who trav-
eled 1000 miles hunting for paying
investments, in the booming West
ern towns, retuned home without
making single purchase, stating
to the Press reporter that there is
much surer investments in Cleve-
land real estate.
The gentleman, whose name is
not given, goes on to tell the Press
how booms are started and opera
ted in the Wild West and Sunny
South. All booms are started by
veteran boomers who have made
money booming other towns until
all the blood is drawn, and who
seek other worlds to conquer. BY
means of U. S. railroad map a
town tolerably we'll located is Sc
lected as the victim. BY concert
of action this syndicate that has
money and plenty of it, goes to the
town and the individuals compos-
ing it, register at different hotels,
if there be more than one, and 60
about their work very quietly at
first, renting the most expensive
Office in the place. They buy up
all the lots and get options on all
the farms within ten miles. Then
the place is filled with real estate
agent signs. The pages Of the pa
pers are filed with advertising and
editorial matter, booming the town,
Beautiful pictures are put in at
great cost, but expenses are no
object to the veteran boomer, for
he is bound to make or break, but
his experience tells him that he is
not the one that breaks. The papers
of the country are soon filed with
notices Of the great boom that pre-
walls in the town, and people flock
to It, and 1T only takes a few
months for the syndicate to unload
and make 500 per cent.
The growth and prosperity OF
the town is discounted for years,
and real estate gets pp 50 high that

Fashion Notes for May.

Hats are not quite as high, but
bonnets have not descended an
inch.
Evening gowns for young ladies
are lavishly trimmed with ribbons
and bows.
Cuffs and collars of linen should
only be worn with tailor made
costumes.
Monograms for underwear are
embroidered in long narrow letters
on the left side.
A piece of perfumed cardboard
or leather placed in writing box,
or desk, will perfume the paper
very gratefully.
Wide sashes or scarfs are still
tied around the waist, but they re-
quire a very slim figure, for being
so wide they make the waist look
much larger than it really is.
Elaborate night dresses are
made of spotted cambric, with
tucks in front, and full coquille of
lace down the centre; the neck
and sleeves are also trimmed with
lace and ornamented with bows of
colored ribbon.
Straw bonnets and hats are
trimmed with bows of ribbon or
lace plaitings, forming a back
ground to Il bouquet-of small fairy
like velvet tulips in variety of
natural colors, mixed with light
foliage or grasses.
Velveteen requires little or no
trimming. 1t is therefore pecul-
iarly economical fabric for dresses
and costumes for both ladies and
children. 1t can be purchased in
all the different shades fashionable
this season..
Some of the new hats have the
crown of straw, and the turned up
brim lined with coarse or fancy
straw in the same shade. The vel
vet flowers used on bonnets are al
so used in trimming hats, but to a
much smaller extent, and many
stylish models are of velvet trimm.

Reception Given in Honor of Two Young
Lady Visitors, Last Evening.
Last evening the McMechen residence on
Chapline street, was the scene OF one of the
most enjoyable events in the social history
of the past season. The occasion was re-
ception and hop given by Miss McMeChen
and Mr.. b. X. McMechen, compli-
mentary to the two charming
lady visitors at the mansion
Miss Mitchell and Miss Montague, of Bal
timore. Quite a number OF invitations
were sent ont, aud large asSemblage of
Wheeling's best known society people was
the result. The guests began arriving as
early as O'Clock and soon the eniOyments
OF the evening were in full sway. The
large parlor, the floor OF which was COW
cred with crash, was used for dancing, and
Professor Charlie killmeyer played
a delightful programme of dance
music, full advantage of which was taken.
In the large airy library OF the residence
on the second floor card tables were ar
ranged, and those who wished were given
the opportunity vi lndulgng IN whist or
euchre, while the corridors were occupied
by promenaders. At 1890 the dining
salon was thrown open and from that time
till the close of the entertainment elegant
refreshments were served the guests, at
their pleasure.
The affair Was very swell, and the charm
ing hostess and accomplished host, assisted
by Mrs. MeMechcn and Mr. W. Il. Ne
Mechen, extended the Inequalities Of the
house in graceful manner. Among the
guests present were number of lady Wis
itors to the city, those noticed in addition
to Misses Mitchell and Montague, being
Miss Billingslea, of st. Louis; Miss HOgg,
of Cadiz; Miss HeaIne, of COyington, KY;
Miss Riddle, of Omaha; Miss Garth, Of

All on Account o the Girls.

A young man who has returned from
one of the fishing camps down near New
Martinsville, states that the young men
who reside down there are jealous of all
the boys who have fishing camps in the
vicinity, because the latter spruce up in
the evening and call unon the young ladies
and gallant them around 10 such an ex-
tent that the town boys have no chance.
The girls, too, he says, SNOW preference
for the visitors, and this made the fellows
down there so angry that vigilance COM
mittee was formed and trouble followed.
This was the cause of the rumpus on last
Sunday evening for which a Wheeling boy,
who says he was entirely innocent, was
arrested and fined Sl4 and costs. The
young man was confined in the New Mar
tinsville Jail for several days and says he
almost died He thinks if the New Mar
tinsville boys cannot hold their own with
the girls, it is not the fault of the Wheel
ing boys who find pleasure in showing
them attention and they ought to have a
square deal
